title = "SDPD-SX: combining a single crystal X-ray diffraction setup with advanced powder data structure determination for use in early stage drug discovery",
abstract = "We report a method for routine crystal structure determination on very small (typically 0.1 mg or less) amounts of crystalline material using powder X-ray diffraction data from a laboratory-based single-crystal diffractometer. The solved structures span a wide range of molecular and crystallographic complexity.",

The functional was used with PAW wave pseudopotentials Grimme's D3 correction, as implemented in the pw.x executable of QuantumEspresso. Automatic k-point sampling was used; the KE cutoffs for plane waves and charge density were 50 & 400 Ry, respectively. Convergence thresholds on total energy and forces were set to 0.0001 and 0.001 a.u., respectively. Initial geometry optimizations were carried out with lattice parameters fixed at their crystallographic values, with subsequent variable cell geometry optimizations starting from the endpoint of the fixed-cell calculations. All calculations were carried out on the UK's National Tier 2 High Performance Computing Hub in Materials and Molecular Modelling, “Young”.
